Great Women in Compliance – Global Corruption Prevention: A View from France

In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, Lisa sits down with Valentina Lana, a Paris-based attorney and ethics & compliance leader who bridges industry and academia.

Valentina shares how an early-career opportunity sparked her passion for anti-corruption work and led her to where she is today.  She has helped build major compliance programs and teaches at Sciences Po.  She worked with Michael Sapin on the Sapin II law and breaks down its core elements for the GWIC audience.  She discusses the requirement for companies to prevent corruption through formal compliance programs—and highlights why risk mapping and third-party due diligence remain the biggest practical challenges for organizations.

Valentina also discusses the evolution of cross-border cooperation between France and the U.S., how trust was built after years of tension, and why she believes that the partnership remains stable despite shifting global priorities. 

She shares her view on AI’s growing role in compliance, emphasizing that AI is a powerful assistant, not a replacement for human judgment, nuance, and interpersonal insight, which remain the core of what we do.

Compliance into the Weeds: Global Anti-Corruption Leadership

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore a subject more fully. Are you looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly are joined by Mary Inman, a founding partner at Whistleblower Partners.

Matt, Tom, and Mary reflect on the global response to anti-corruption measures following an executive order issued by former President Trump. The conversation highlights webinars conducted in early 2025 that addressed concerns over who would enforce anti-corruption laws worldwide if the United States stepped back. The sentiment among countries like Brazil, Hong Kong, Singapore, England, and France was clear; they were ready to take on the mantle themselves.

Mary reports on her conversations with the SFO in London about instituting a whistleblower program and similar initiatives in the United Kingdom at His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs and the Financial Conduct Authority.

Key highlights:

  • Global Anti-Corruption Sentiment Post-Trump’s Executive Order
  • Encouraging International Enforcement
  • Evidence of Global Enforcement Actions
  • Whistleblower Incentives in the UK
  • Global Leadership in Anti-Corruption
